⚠️ The trap
True cognate for the organ, but in Italian 'stomaco' strictly refers to the stomach organ. For the belly/tummy area, Italians say 'pancia'. Saying 'mi fa male lo stomaco' implies internal digestive pain, while 'mi fa male la pancia' is more general.
To say "the digestive organ; the belly area" in Italian:
stomaco (true cognate — but body part distinction differs)
"stomaco" in English means:
stomach (the organ)
Example
"Mi fa male lo stomaco."
"My stomach hurts."
